We amend a recent dispersive analysis of the anomalous $\eta$ decay process $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ by the effects of the $a_2$ tensor meson, the lowest-lying resonance that can contribute in the $\pi\eta$ system. While the net effects on…
The decay psi(2S) --> eta J/psi is used to measure, for the first time, all prominent eta-meson branching fractions with the same experiment in the same dataset, thereby providing a consistent treatment of systematics across branching…
It is argued that the branching ratio for the decay chi_{b0}(2P) -> eta eta_b can reach few permil as a result of the enhancement of the eta emission by the axial anomaly in QCD. This might make the discussed process practical for an…

We calculate the branching ratios of the yet unmeasured eta' decays into four pions, based on a combination of chiral perturbation theory and vector-meson dominance. The decays eta' --> 2(pi+ pi-) and eta' --> pi+ pi- 2pi0 are P-wave…
In this article, we study the decays $\psi^{\prime}\to {J/\psi}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\eta_c^{\prime}\to {\eta_c}\pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the chiral symmetry breaking effects, the final-state interactions and the heavy quark symmetry.…
The Crystal Ball at MAMI setup offers an excellent possibility to study decays of the eta and eta' meson. Here, recent results of the Crystal Ball at MAMI experiment from eta meson decays are presented. Furthermore, future perspectives of…
It is pointed out that the decay of the recently observed charmonium eta_c^prime resonance, eta_c^prime -> eta_c pi pi is simply related to the well studied decay psi^prime -> J/psi pi pi and can thus be used for absolute normalization of…
We study the hadronic $\eta^{\prime}\to\eta\pi\pi$ decays within the framework of $U(3)_{L}\otimes U(3)_{R}$ Chiral Perturbation Theory including resonance states and the complete one-loop corrections. The amplitude is projected in partial…
We survey various U_A(1) problems and attempt to resolve the two puzzles related to the eta mesons that have experimental verification. Specifically, we first explore the Goldstone structure of the eta and eta' mesons in the context of…
The composition of the eta and eta' mesons has long been a source of discussion and is of current interest with new experimental results appearing. We investigate what can be learnt from a number of different processes: V to P gamma and P…
Using a sample of $(225.3\pm 2.8)\times 10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ decays collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, searches for invisible decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ in $J/\psi\to\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ are performed. Decays of…
The world's largest sample of $J/\psi$ events accumulated at the BESIII dector offers a unique opportunity to investigate $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ physics via two body $J/\psi$ radiative or hadronic decays. In recent years the BESIII…
To avoid the impact from the background events directly from $e^+e^-$ annihilations or $J/\psi$ decays, we propose a novel approach to investigate $\eta$ decays, in particular for its rare or forbidden decays, by using…
Theoretical efforts to describe and explain the $\eta\to 3\pi$ decays reach far back in time. Even today, the convergence of the decay widths and some of the Dalitz plot parameters seems problematic in low energy QCD. In the framework of…
Based on a sample of $2.7\times10^{9}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, an analysis of the decay $\psi(3686)\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}, \chi_{cJ}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}$ is performed. The decay…
We have observed new channels for $\tau$ decays with an $\eta$ in the final state. We study 3-prong tau decays, using the $\eta\to\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta\to 3\piz$ decay modes and 1-prong decays with two $\piz$'s using the…
Using a data sample of $58\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ decays collected with the BES II detector at the BEPC, searches for invisible decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ in $J/\psi$ to $\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ are performed. The $\phi$…
The $\eta \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \gamma$ decay is discussed in the general context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), assuming that the low--energy constants (counter--terms) are saturated by vector-meson resonances. The $\eta \to \pi^+…
The $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ mixing mass term due to the derivative coupling $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ symmetry breaking term, produces an additional momentum-dependent pole term for processes with $\eta^{\prime}$, but is suppressed in the $\eta$…
